A method for controlling how an image is displayed on a device. The device displays a set of thumbnail images. When a thumbnail is selected, the corresponding image is shown in full-screen mode, which activates a "tracing mode." While in tracing mode, a user can change how the image is displayed by enlarging, reducing, scrolling, or rotating it, creating different display states. The changes made to the image (enlarging, reducing, scrolling, rotating) in each state are saved as "history information" in memory. When the user views the same image again, the device can restore the previously saved display states using the history information. The tracing mode and history saving occur only when full-screen images are shown and the image's display is being modified. The tracing mode activates either by a direct user command or automatically when an image’s display changes randomly and stays that way for a certain time.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the saved history information includes at least one of display coordinates of the changed state of the displayed image and a display magnification of the changed state of the displayed image.
The image display method as described where, when the user views the same image again, the device can restore the previously saved display states using the history information, the saved "history information" includes the coordinates on the screen where the image was displayed and/or how much the image was magnified (zoomed in). This allows the device to precisely restore the image's position and zoom level from the previous viewing session.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the display unit comprises a touchscreen, wherein the input includes a touch and drag on the displayed image, and wherein the history information includes changes made to the state of the displayed image based on the touch and drag.
The image display method as described where, when the user views the same image again, the device can restore the previously saved display states using the history information, the display screen is a touchscreen. User interaction involves touching and dragging the image on the screen. The "history information" saved reflects the modifications made to the image's state by these touch and drag gestures. The changes related to zoom and pan done via touch and drag are saved as part of the image history.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: transmitting, via a wireless communication unit of the image display device, the image and the saved history information.
The image display method as described where, when the user views the same image again, the device can restore the previously saved display states using the history information, also includes transmitting the original image and the saved "history information" via wireless communication (e.g., Wi-Fi, Bluetooth). This allows sharing the image along with its saved display states with other devices.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the revival command includes selecting the image from an image list after the history information is saved.
The image display method as described where, when the user views the same image again, the device can restore the previously saved display states using the history information, the "revival command" that triggers restoring the image's display state involves selecting the image from a list of available images after the history information has been saved. This allows users to revisit images and their previous display states by selecting them from a gallery or similar interface.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the image includes an image photographed via a camera, wherein the image is displayed in a review mode, and wherein the revival command includes a command for entering the review mode after performing an additional photographing via the camera.
The image display method as described where, when the user views the same image again, the device can restore the previously saved display states using the history information, the image being displayed is one that was just taken with a camera. The image is initially shown in a "review mode" after capture. The "revival command" is triggered by entering the review mode again after taking another picture. This allows users to quickly return to and review previously captured images after capturing new ones, while also restoring their previous display states.
7. An apparatus for displaying an image, comprising: a display unit; and a controller configured to: display a plurality of thumbnails on the display unit; in response to selection of one of the plurality of thumbnails, display an image corresponding to the selected thumbnail on the display unit and activate a tracing mode, wherein the image is displayed as a full screen; change a state of the displayed full screen image including one of enlarging the displayed image, reducing the displayed image, scrolling the displayed image and rotating the displayed image to display a first changed display state of the image; change the displayed state of the first changed display state of the image including one of enlarging the displayed image, reducing the displayed image, scrolling the displayed image and rotating the displayed image to display a second changed display state of the image; save the one of the enlarging, reducing, scrolling and rotating associated with the displayed first changed display state of the image and associated with the displayed second changed display state of the image as history information of the changed state of the displayed image in a memory associated with the apparatus in response to displaying the image as the full screen again to end the tracing mode after the state of the displayed image is changed; receive a revival command for the image corresponding to the selected thumbnail; and in response to reception of the revival command, revive the changed state of the displayed image in accordance with the saved history information on the display unit, wherein the controller is further configured to only save the history information while the tracing mode is active, and wherein the tracing mode is activated if a mode activate command is input or if a displayed state of the image is changed in response to a random display state change command and then maintained for a prescribed duration.
An apparatus for displaying an image is comprised of a display unit and a controller. The controller displays thumbnail images. When a thumbnail is selected, the full-sized image is displayed, and a tracing mode is activated. In tracing mode, the image's display can be changed (enlarged, reduced, scrolled, rotated), and these changes are saved as "history information." The controller will change the state of the displayed full screen image including enlarging, reducing, scrolling or rotating the displayed image to display a first changed display state of the image. The controller then changes the displayed state of the first changed display state of the image including enlarging, reducing, scrolling or rotating the displayed image to display a second changed display state of the image; When the image is reopened, the display is revived to the previously saved state. The tracing mode is active only when modifying the full-screen image. Tracing mode can be activated by a specific command or by a random display change that persists.
8. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the saved history information includes at least one of display coordinates of the changed state of the displayed image and a display magnification of the changed state of the displayed image.
The image display apparatus as described where, when the image is reopened, the display is revived to the previously saved state, the saved history includes the screen coordinates of the displayed image and/or the display magnification (zoom level). This allows the apparatus to precisely recreate the previous image position and zoom.
